21、Peru is the third largest country in South America, after Brazil and Argentina. It is made up of a variety of landscapes, from mountains and beaches to deserts and rain forests. Most people live along the coast of the Pacific Ocean, where the capital, Lima, is located.
Along Peru’s west coast is a narrow strip (狭长地带) of desert, which is about 1, 555 miles long. Ancient people, called the Chimú and the Nasca, first lived in this region thousands of years ago. The coastal desert makes up only about 10 percent of Peru, but it is home to more than half of all Peruvians.

Called the selva in Spanish, this huge jungle (丛林), which also covers half of Brazil, is home to plants and animals that do not live anywhere else on Earth, Some scientists think there may even be Indian tribes (部落) there that have never seen the outside world.
The second highest mountain range in the world runs through Peru. These peaks, called the Andes, are so tall and forbidding that the ancient Inca people thought they were gods. They run from north to south and can be seen from Peru’s beaches 50 miles to the west. The highest peak of it, Mount Huascaran, is 22, 205 feet high.

22、The moment that Jiang Mengnan received the Touching China Person of the Year Award for 2021, she said she most wanted to express her gratitude to her parents. Born in 1992 in Yizhang county, Hunan Province, Jiang’s world has been silent since she was 6 months old, when ototoxic (耳毒性的) drugs she was given irreparably damaged her hearing. So, Jiang’s parents, both middle school teachers, taught her to learn vocalization and lip reading.
Jiang put her hands on the throats of her parents when they talked and felt the vibration (震动) of the vocal cords (声带) to learn to speak. When reading Pinyin, she carefully looked at the lips of other people’s pronunciations to know the formation of each syllable. Mastering a single word can take at least 1000 practice attempts for Jiang, and different people having different mouth movements added difficulty to her social contacts and school life.
Through lip reading and self-study, she was able to keep up with learning and was accepted by Jilin University School of Pharmacy (药学) . In 2018, she was accepted as a PhD candidate at Tsinghua University’s School of Life Sciences. Because of her hearing loss, she couldn’t be a doctor. Instead, she chose pharmacy to help reduce people’s pain and assist their recovery.
Jiang’s story is one of victory over adversity. More importantly, she is helping inspire disabled children to struggle for success. She stressed that people with disabilities have no need to feel discouraged. When God closes a door, he opens a window, and this girl believes that all challenges are gifts.
【1】What led Jiang to lose her hearing?
A.She had a genetic disease.
B.She took a harmful medicine.
C.She suffered from a high fever.
D.She was injured in a car accident.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Jiang’s experiences of language learning.
B.Jiang’s attempts to overcome social anxiety.
C.Jiang’s advice on mastering pronunciation skills.
D.Jiang’s success in the college entrance examination.
【3】How does Jiang help disabled children?
A.By teaching them to learn lip reading.
B.By treating them with free medicine as a doctor.
C.By encouraging them to break down barriers.
D.By investing money in building schools for them.
【4】What can we learn from Jiang’s story?
A.Hard work pays off.
B.Well begun is half done.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.You cannot judge a book by its cover.
23、I'm often asked how to study English effectively. I think this means getting the most out of your study time, and that means variety. 【1】
Study Every Day
It's important to study English every day. However, don't exaggerate (夸张)!【2】 This habit of studying English every day will help keep English in your brain fresh.
A Little Grammar, a Little Listening, a Little Reading, and a Little Writing
【3】 Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then read an article on the same topic. Don't do too much; twenty minutes on three different types of exercises is plenty!
【4】
Give yourself one grammar goal when reading a new article or watching a new video. For example, try to write down each example of a form you are studying such as the present perfect. Use colored pens to highlight (使……突出) forms that you are studying.
Use Different Learning Methods
Don't just use one way to study English. Use many kinds of methods which will make all the parts of your brain help you. 【5】 All of these methods together help with your learning.

24、 What were you like as a teenager? I was a nightmare. I was rude to my parents, always stayed out late, never did my homework, hung out with the wrong people and made lots of bad decisions. Obviously, this is the age when teenagers are out of control and behave badly. Maybe, if you’re a teenager now, you think this is unfair judgment or it’s not your fault. Well, you might be right!
Experts have found that it’s a teenager’s brain that is to blame. Between the ages of about 13 to 19 — a period known as adolescence, the brain is still developing in areas that control behavior. This has an influence on learning and multitasking, stress and memory, sleep, and decision-making. For parents, these results often make them notice lots of behaviors that they may have earlier blamed on hormones (荷尔蒙) or just moodiness.
So our brains are still developing much later than it was thought before. Is this the perfect excuse for teenagers to walk around aimlessly and not get their homework done on time? Of course not! According to Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, who made the new discovery, it’s to do with our prefrontal cortex that’s the part of our brain right at the front, just behind the forehead. She says “It takes part in a whole area of very high-level cognitive (认知的) tasks such as decision making and planning — we know that this area is going through very large amounts of development during the adolescent years”. This is the part of the brain which plays an important role in planning, and, for a teenager, this hasn’t developed yet. So getting organised to do their homework, for example, can come as a bit of challenge.
I wish I’d known about this because instead of telling my teacher I’d left my homework on the bus or that the dog had eaten it. Now I could say, “Sorry sir, my brain isn’t developed enough for the cognitive task of planning my homework.”
【1】Which of the following is common in teenagers?
A.Doing some bad deeds.
B.Being blamed for their age.
C.Stopping their brain development.
D.Making excuses for their bad behaviors.
【2】What do we know about the new discovery?
A.The brain develops in the first few years of life.
B.The forehead stops developing during adolescence.
C.Hormones take responsibility for teenagers’ behaviors.
D.The prefrontal cortex affects us performing cognitive tasks.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A.Behind the adolescence
B.Inside a Teenager’s Brain
C.For the Naughty Teenagers
D.About the brain Development

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要.
Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We read articles, e-mails and We Chat quickly, trying to understand key words and the most important meaning of a certain text. Faced with so much information from our smart phones, it would be impossible to deal if we read word by word, line by line. However, more and more people enjoy reading slowly.
There is a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike other book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from smart phones and read in a quiet, relaxing environment. Actually, the Wellington book club is just one example of slow-reading book clubs.
Nowadays, technology has made us unable to focus on reading. “Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information left-to-right order to a wild skimming(略读) and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading a text with links leads to weaker understanding than reading an ordinary text,” says Patrick Kingsley from a newspaper. However, slow reading is good for readers in many ways. It sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize (共鸣).Another study last year showed that reading novels slowly helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.
Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly, a slow reader. “You can put in half an hour pretty easily during your free moments. You pick up a meaningful book rather than start your computer to look for your favorite site for something to pass the time,” Kelly said.
